"Yellow River (song) ""Yellow River"" is a popular song recorded by the British band Christie. Written by band leader Jeff Christie, it was offered to The Tremeloes, who recorded it with the intention of releasing it as a single early in 1970. However, after the success of their then most recent single, ""Call Me Number One"", and after considering it too pop-orientated for their future direction, they decided to follow it up with another of their own compositions, ""By the Way"", which was only a minor Top 40 success. Producer Mike Smith therefore took their vocals off the recording and"

They reached the peak of their popularity around 2000, with the release of ""All The Hype That Money Can Buy"". With the release of ""Hype"", the band continued to diversify their sound, incorporating calypso, salsa, and reggae. Musically ""Hype"" turned out to be their most eclectic album. The band toured"

Because Mosely had been an integral part of the writing for ""Ocean Avenue"" and had also been friends with most of the band's members since high school, Lewis was asked to leave on March 1, 2004, and Mosely was reinstated as the bass player. In late 2003, Yellowcard finally broke through with a hit single, ""Ocean Avenue"". The song premiered on MTV's TRL program, and quickly shot up the charts to No. 1.
